The veteran officer says that’s something officers just have to accept, while treating everyone equally.

“Throughout my career, I’ve always kind of taken the effect of I know that just by putting on the uniform, to some people that just offends them — just my uniform and my presence,” Daniel told WWJ’s Mike Campbell on Saturday. “I’ve kind of become accustom to that after 20-plus years in law enforcement.”

Meantime, Daniel says community support for the police department is at an all-time high. He says recent support is coming from residents of all ages.

“It seems like every day we have somebody coming bringing us cookies, cakes, buying us dinner — sometimes we have people just stopping by and just saying ‘thank you,'” Daniel said. “We’ve got little kids coming in in their Halloween costumes — their little SWAT costumes — taking pictures with us, getting station tours.”

Daniel’s comments come at a time where there have been a number of protests across the country over police shootings of unarmed black people.
